This savage video captures the moment hordes of growling hooligans met each other in a quiet woodland area for a massive bare knuckle brawl that was TEN years in the making.

The chilling footage , taken last Saturday, shows two large groups of men standing metres apart and goading one another.

One group - thought to be so-called ultras of Nancy - is dressed in white t-shirts and dark trousers with one member apparently glorifying in the imminent battle by having the word 'hooligan' emblazoned across his chest.

The other group - clad all in black - are smaller in number but from the more notorious Feyenoord group of thugs.

Just seconds into the footage the men charge into one another and begin hurling punches and launching kicks into their rivals.

It is thought the battle was arranged by members of the Dutch ultra group who were still seething over a perceived injustice served upon them 10 years ago.

On November 30, 2006, Nancy beat Feyenoord 3-0 in a UEFA Cup group round match.

Despite progressing to the next round of the competition, Feyenoord were then thrown out of the competition after a number of their fans tried to smash glass barriers and hurled seats at stewards in the match against Nancy - giving Spurs a bye.

Fans let the wounds fester for a decade before organising this brutal punch-up against their French foes - who are thought to have been aided by other ultras from Strasbourg.

In the footage, bodies soon start dropping to the floor as the violence appears to spiral out of control.

The fight lasts for around one minute and it appears that the French fans have made their extra numbers count.

They push the army dressed in black backwards, as many people from both sides scramble to their feet after being knocked down.
